DePuy Hip Revision Patient Profile

The Adverse Event Reports reported to the FDA that include the DePuy ASR hip system where submitted by skilled surgeons where they performed revision surgeries. It is mentioned that “loosening, pseudotumour and metallosis” / (sic) metalosis were observed." Surgeons have noted upon revision that the DePuy ASR hip cup was “loose and easy to revise”, that the “the cup popped right out” and that “there was no evidence of any bony ingrowth.” This is in spite of the surgeon’s prerevision observation that “The patient was revised to address complaint of extreme pain when weight bearing. X-rays looked good, and cup was in position.”

DePuy Hip Recall Liability Management Program

DePuy is paying surgeons to assist them in getting patients to sign documents for DePuy that allows DePuy to keep the explanted hip implant and to do "testing" on it. The explanted device is a valuable piece of evidence and a patient may not be able to prove a product defect case without the explanted hip device. Patients should be wary of this and not jeopardize their current and future legal rights by signing any documents for Depuy without obtaining independent legal advice. Patients may not realize what they are doing and think they are "just doing what the doctor asked" when they sign the documents. Please take notice that your health care insurer is obligated to pay for your revision surgery and testing and it is not necessary for you to sign any documents for Depuy in order to get your revision or testing done.
